Afternoon,

I wondered if the forum members could help me with a problem...

I have a Greenfield Fastcut 34 - 25hp model that has recently had some trouble starting. The progression of the issue was:

1. Wouldn't fire every time (when the key was turned, it just clicked).

2. For a while, I could move the mower and sometimes it would suddenly fire and start up.

3. Now it won't fire at all.

My initial thoughts were battery or spark plug (I'm pretty novice at this stuff) but when I was looking the machine over, I noticed this wire appears to have become unplugged:

It looks like the black wire (2. in pic) has come free from the white plastic housing (1. in pic).

However, the white plastic housing has two possible connections. The one on the left has a single orange wire exiting from it and the connection on the right has two red wires exiting from it.

I'm certainly not crazy enough to just go connecting them, but I wondered if anyone knows off bat if that's my problem?

Alternatively, if anyone has the same mower and is able to take a picture of the wires (they are just above the main pedal when you lift the bonnet up), it'd be great to see if these should be connected.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Cheers,
Rich
